Calibus Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I recently purchased an SIO2SD from Lotharek, but I am stumped as to how to wire it up properly to my SIO cable. I *know* I need to connect pins 10, 4, 7, 3, 5 from the SIO cable - but there is no indication on the SIO2SD which screw down terminal connector is "1" for example, so I can't simply follow a schematic such as this one: http://www.eurotronik.pl/pages/sio2sd.php?m2=103 In my picture - which pin is "1"? I don't want to apply the 5v to the wrong pin and fry this... thanks! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Payne Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The pins aren't marked or come with some instructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibus Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 The pins aren't marked or come with some instructions? No to both questions. Thus my asking here. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I believe that a square pin always denotes pin 1 on these boards. Please wait to hear from someone that has this particular board however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please wait to hear from someone that has this particular board however. nope - no square pin through holes on the bottom of the board under the green header. I'd already checked before asking here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingolfin Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Calibus, I would consider emailing Lotharek directly; last night I asked him a question about SIO2SD and he replied very quickly. This morning he replied again and offered more information and a clarification when I sent him a thank you for his first reply. He also politely asked me not to use google translate for converting English to Polish when communicating with him. lotharek@lotharek.pl Good luck with wiring up your SIO2SD! Have fun! Amazing technology. Best Regards Fingolfin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibus Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Sometimes the best answers are the simplest ones, I'll send him an email and cross my fingers... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to hit the translate to English option. https://www.arsoft.netstrefa.pl/SIO2SD.htm Edited March 28, 2018 by ACML 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibus Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Yep, Lotharek actually emailed me this picture yesterday - I wondered where it came from. Even w/out translating from Polish - this picture is all I needed. It would be nice if future runs of the board had pin 1 indicated though...
